Re: Bids?I'm not sure there is anything you can do as an outsider to the situation. From what I have seen the powers that be in most municipalities do not put a priority on the same things we do as sound providers. Image is everything in most cases, reputation and perceptions can go a long way to cement your company in the minds of your clients and potential clients. You must make the process of hiring you simple for them. Having a billing system that is conducive to their way of doing things is a prerequisite as well. Make yourself attractive to them by researching their needs and wants and then fill that role. If all else fails it never hurts to be best friends with someone in local government.
